Hi nice2010..when I received the letter from them ask lang nila passport, nbi, aom at bc lang, then on that same day after 30mins receiving the letter they phone me and telling me to include the Relationship history namin husband ko and detailed history ng biological father ng anak ko. Im a single mom before i met my husband.

Hi redtag...just follow CEM instruction. Goodluck!

@ pilipino

If the case is mahirap kumuha dun ng PClearance...aware na din siguro ang CEM
Kaya yung iba di na pinapakuha...it depends din siguro sa Country.
if u still living within the country...you can request 4 a copy whether request nila o hindi at least prepare ka.
Just wait for the CEM to request...
Kung hindi naman mas maganda...hehehe
Kasi yun ang pinakamatagal...
GoodLuck...

Hello everyone!

Question naman po for those who paid online for their fees. I browsed through the past posts
but I got no certain answer.

When filling up the information on the receipt, it asks for the Client ID.
Would that be my husband's client ID?

I called CIC but yung kausap ko antok pa ata, hindi daw sya sure hahahaha
pero kung sino daw ang nagbayad ng fee, (sponsor) dapat Client ID nya yung ilalagay dun.


Any first hand experience please? Thank you!

May tatanong lang po ako...yung mga sinuli na mga documents sa atin kasama ung visa...kekelanganin pa ba natin un pag land or pede na sya iwanan

ung mga impt docs na lang dalhin mo like bc, mc, nbi clearance baka bigla ka hanapn depende din kase sa immigration na makakausap mo eh..(depende sa mood) pero madalas naman hindi siya hinahanap just in case lang.. then ung mga evidence kahit iwan mo na ok na un..

Just leave it blank. The client ID is indicated on the DM letter that the sponsor will receive.

Redtag.........yeah kung may dependent ka better make explanation of your previous relationship.be sure to notarize the letter.and your detailed relationship with ur husband.kasi sken di notarized kaya ibinalik nila at request nilang inotarized.

naku binalik nila sayo? yunkasi ang hiningi sakin pero hindi ko pina-notarize kasi wala hindi naman noted dun sa letter.. ayan kinabahan tuloy ako baka tumagal pa application namin. waaah! pero na sakin sole custody ng anak ko, wala yun biologica father sa BC ng anak ko.. you think ibabalik pa yun? wag naman sana...

Hi again sir mark!

I called CIC again regarding this. An agent told me that if my husband paid for the fees, he should put his client ID number
indicated on his PR card. If I was the one who paid (applicant), I should just leave this blank because CIC would be providing
my Client ID, which will later on be shown in my PR card (when issued).

Thanks!

@ dorisiana, hello Doris do not worry sa akin di ko naman pina notaryo. Pero nag signature ako with my file number. Atsaka case to case basis yan. Pero may hiningi sa akin ang embassy Declaration of accompaniying Child to Travel. in this case kailangan na nang notaryo at attorney kasi yan ang naka lagay sa form na binigay nang taga CEM. Pero sa mo case wala naman palang Biological father sa BC nang anak . Okay lang yan.. Mostly ang hihingin nila ... solo parent ID.... good luck to our application.

Continuation of B: To renew or apply for passport at Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) certificate from Seminar B is required

To avoid delay of visa processing, make sure all fees were paid, and all documents were submited.

Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF). If this fee is not paid with the application, Canadian Embassy Manila will first contact you to send you a letter to tell you to pay. The letter goes to the person being sponsored but the fees have to be paid by the sponsor themselves. You then pay your fees online or at a bank and have to send the proof to CPC-Missassauga. Then CPC-M sends notice to the CEM that it was paid.
It takes time to get back to you to tell that the fees are paid. So it does slow down the process quite a bit. Failure to pay the fee at the time of submission of the application will result in a minimum additional two-month delay in the finalization of the application according to http://www.cnn1.net/pdf_forms/3900E.pdf

Additional documents usually requested by the embassy:
1. AOM (Advisory on Marriage) from NSO- different from Marriage Certificate; should be submitted at CPC-Missassauga together with other required documents at Country Specific Instructions-Philippines http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3905e.pdf
2. Divorce Petition- different from Divorce Certificate; usually requested from Filipino sponsors who are divorced based on experiences of posters in this forum. (For natural-born Canadian sponsors who are divorced, seems that they don't ask from you, but pls confirm at CEM)
3. Appendix A- or Additional Family Information; though submitted previously, they will still ask a copy; the letter usually comes with the AOR/PPR
4. Detailed statement of relationship with the EX (notarized)- for sponsored person with a child from their ex. Sometimes you are required to submit: Ex's I.D, a notarized letter stating the ex allows the child to be sponsored, or other document asked by the visa officer.

To check application status (eCAS), download forms, guidelines and know more about Citizenship and Immigration Canada: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/e-services/index.asp
